Your examples are hypothetical at best. We really don't disagree except on what you and I believe are the weight of whom is influencing whom. The problem with the money trail is that it is not just Iraq where the money and weapons end up. The trail is basically as speculative as is the source of material goods. Much of the money out of Saudi could also be going to Afgan, Paki's, and Indonesian insurgencies. Most experts agree that the method of transfering monies through the money changers is impossible to trace. If it were easy we most likely could have cut the head off this snake a long time ago.
